Gym rats and couch potatoes alike have been embracing the
low-impact, high-results workout known as Pilates, currently one of
the fastest growing fitness trends in the nation. IM=X Pilates has been training Pilates instructors for
eight years and now offers studio franchises—the first two
launched this fall. IM=X Pilates is updating the classic Pilates
method with modern gym practices by adding more cardio work,
offering classes tailored to clients' fitness goals, and having
members pay monthly rather than per-class fees. And there's an
added bonus: Franchisees are entitled to 12 certifications
annually, which can be used in any manner they choose for their
employees.
